    Kid Rich and Tire Poor (but you can help!)

    Man, four kids can really "go through" some tires...if only there was somebody out there willing to help these poor tireless children. All it takes is a vote in the Cooper Discoverer writing contest (you don't even need to give up a cup of coffee) to make sure that these kids and their Montero...

    COOPER DISCOVERER: Middle-earth by Montero...with Four Kids

    The COOPER DISCOVERER Appendices The Epilogue: The Two (of Seven) Towers Cape Lookout, North Carolina July 13-17, 2016 There's a reason we'd planned our Outer Banks trip for November instead of July. Many reasons in fact. And after that first night, thousands of smaller-than-tent-mesh...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - Yosemite Adventure With My Brothers

    My boys are still little, but I look forward to the day that the four (maybe more, later) of them set off on similar adventures together. I'm sure their mom will worry to death just like yours, haha. How close in age are you and your brothers (if you don't mind me asking)?

    The 6th, and Final Portion “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as...

    did the 3rd gen ever come with gray leather interior?

    Google it. Hehe, just kidding. In all my searching I never saw leather other than black or tan on a Gen. 3. 20th Anniversary editions had the gray faux wood trim. There's gray cloth, but even that is rare (at least in my searches).

    Blue Ridge Rescue Mission Report

    The Rescue Mission The kidnappers’ trail was easy to pick up the following morning, drawing our party north into the Big Levels Wildlife Management Area off the Coal Road. Trash was everywhere, and my oldest discovered a few clear signs of struggle. We were hot on their tails, and they knew it...

    COOPER DISCOVERER: Middle-earth by Montero...with Four Kids

    The 5th Portion: The Road South There was this guy, Scottish bloke who once wrote a poem to a mouse, occasioned by the accidental ruining of the mouse’s house. The short version of the incident was that said mouse made the poor decision of building its winter nest in the farmer man’s field...

    COOPER DISCOVERER: Middle-earth by Montero...with Four Kids

    The 4th Portion I've always had this weird thing with my eyes. It's hard to explain, but it isn't really anything wrong with seeing (I don't wear or need glasses at this stage of life). I see just fine, but looking at things, looking for things, that's when it shows up. “Did you see...

    How is the idle controlled on a 2003+ (3.8L) Gen3 Monty?

    It sounds like it likely might be in the A/C 2 Signal in this case then. The procedure to check is 13Ad-70 in the 2003 Factory Service Manual, though as noted by Super Doug on the justanswer.com thread there is a misprint in the instructions (the vehicle will not start with the D-134 connector...

    Gen 3 Montero, won't engage 4Llc but 4H and 4Hlc work

    Here's a FSM page with code 32 I haven't checked the reference page listed on the right, but would assume it's a diagnostic page. Hope that gives you more to go on.

    How is the idle controlled on a 2003+ (3.8L) Gen3 Monty?

    If your idle is a little low the FSM's first recommendation is to check and clean the throttle body and intake. Claims that can prevent it from staying at 700 +- 100 rpm. Really simple on ours since there isn't a TPS or IAC motor to disconnect.

    How is the idle controlled on a 2003+ (3.8L) Gen3 Monty?

    There's no IAC on our 3.8L's. That was my first guess, but I searched in vain to find it. Everything is PCM controlled. Any more details on injectors...what kind of other symptoms would accompany that? Erratic idle, stutters, MIL codes?

    Blue Ridge Mountains Trip Report

    Spent 5 days exploring and camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with my family of 6 (4 kids 5 and under) and the '03 Montero back in April. Had a great time despite rainy/foggy/thunderstormy weather. Did out first trail together (Bald Mountain Jeep Trail), and the Montero made it...
